Investing in Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health in Uganda
Author: Julia Mensah
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464819939
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
In Uganda, conditions in reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) remain the primary drivers of morbidity and mortality, accounting for 60 percent of years of life lost. The high burden of these conditions can be attributed to a poor quality of care resulting from inadequate financial, human, and material resources compounded by weak multisectoral coordination. Moreover, the country's high population growth rate and a young population imply that RMNCAH service delivery will continue to dominate health sector reforms--even with the increasing prevalence of noncommunicable and infectious diseases. Over the past two decades, Uganda has focused on improving the quality of RMNCAH service delivery, leading to declines in the maternal, infant, and under-five mortality ratios and the increased use of modern contraception among married women. However, the neonatal mortality and teenage pregnancy rates have stagnated, and the low civil registration of births and deaths remains challenging. Investing in Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health in Uganda: What Have We Learned, and Where Do We Go from Here? comprises 12 studies conducted as part of the RMNCAH Operational Research Program drafted between 2019 and 2021 and finalized and disseminated in October 2022 across 45 districts of Uganda with funding from Sweden and the World Bank. These studies underscore important lessons learned and offer suggestions for enhancing the delivery of RMNCAH interventions. Each chapter represents one study and discusses service delivery, the health workforce, financing, health information systems, and governance and leadership. Two appendixes summarize key findings and recommendations and explain the roles of key stakeholders in the RMNCAH Operational Research Program.

Child and Youth Participation in Policy, Practice and Research
Author: Deirdre Horgan
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000511294
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
This book showcases rights based participatory approaches to policy-making, practice and research with children and youth. Throughout its three parts, the book conceptualises a rights-based participatory approach; showcases constructive and innovative rights based participatory approaches across the domains of research, policy and practice; and interrogates the challenges and complexities in the implementation of such an approach. In recent times, Ireland has been at the forefront of promoting and implementing participatory approaches to policy-making, practice and research focused on children and youth. This edited volume is a timely opportunity to capture previously undocumented learning generated from a wide range of innovative participatory initiatives implemented in Ireland. In capturing this learning, real world guidance will be provided to international policy-makers, practitioners and researchers working with children and youth. This book is essential reading for those interested in a rights based participatory approach, for those who want to appropriately and meaningfully engage children and youth in research, and for those wishing to maximise the contribution of children and youth in policy-making.

OECD Public Governance Reviews Together for Children and Young People in Ireland Towards a New Governance Framework
Author: OECD
Publisher: OECD Publishing
ISBN: 926489165X
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Ireland has shown a strong commitment to addressing child poverty and improving outcomes for children and young people. Responding to the needs of children and young people, particularly those most vulnerable, requires integrated policies and services. This report is part of a joint project between the OECD and the European Commission to strengthen policy and governance arrangements for tackling child poverty and improving outcomes for children and young people based on a whole-of-government approach. The report assesses recent policy, institutional and legislative developments in Ireland and compares outcomes for children and young people with those in other EU and OECD countries. It finds that despite progress, Ireland still has room for improvement on child poverty reduction, and more can be done to address the trust gap between young people in Ireland and their government. The report recommends Ireland to adopt measures to enhance inter-departmental and inter-agency co-operation, strengthen evidence-informed approaches, reinforce policy monitoring tools, and improve accountability mechanisms. It also recommends measures to support the effective implementation of Young Ireland, the National Policy Framework for Children and Young People (2023-28), and to ensure policy coherence.

BEING PARTICIPATORY
Author: Imelda Coyne
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031477871
Category : Children
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
The second edition of this book provides a clear framework for conducting participatory research with children and young people supported by practical examples from international research studies. Our aim is to encourage more participatory research with children and young people on all matters that affect their lives. This book illustrates innovative ways of being participatory and how such methods can promote the inclusion of children and young people with diverse experiences and backgrounds. It sheds new light on involvement strategies that recognise agency and that play to children and young people's strengths. The international experts in this book share knowledge built from their wealth of experience in undertaking participatory research with children and young people using creative techniques that can enable and promote ways of expressing their views and experiences. The book provides guidance on appropriate techniques that can reduce the power differential between adult researchers and children and young people as participants. These techniques help to optimise their abilities to participate in research. There is increasing interest in involving children and young people as co-researchers but little guidance on how this can be done. This book fills a gap in the current literature by addressing all these issues outlined above and by providing worked examples from leading researchers and academics. Building on the success of the first edition and, with an additional three chapters, this second edition is sure to have wide appeal to researchers across a range of different disciplines. This book is targeted at researchers, academics, and practitioners who need guidance on what tools are available, how the tools can be used, advantages and challenges, and how best to involve children and young people in all stages of a research project.

Understanding System Change in Child Protection and Welfare
Author: John Canavan
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000478270
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 119
Book Description
This book provides an account of the experience of a multifaceted system-change programme to strengthen the capacity of Ireland’s statutory child protection and welfare agency in the areas of prevention, early intervention and family support. Many jurisdictions globally are involved in system change processes focused on increasing investment in services that seek to prevent children’s entry into child protection and welfare systems, through early intervention, greater support to families, and an increased emphasis on rights and participation. Based on a four-year in-depth study by a team of University-based researchers, this text adds to the emerging knowledge-base on developing, implementing and evaluating system change in child protection and welfare. Study methodological approaches were wide ranging and involved a number of key stakeholders including children, parents, social workers and social care workers, service managers, agency leaders and policy makers. Since the change process involved an agency-university partnership encompassing design, technical support and evaluation, the book also contributes to understandings of the potential and limits of such partnerships in the child protection and welfare field. Uniquely, the book gives voice to the experience of both agency personnel and academic in the accounts provided. It will be of interest to all scholars, students and practitioners in the areas of child protection and welfare.

Child labour among pastoralist communities
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org. [Author] [Author]
ISBN: 9251387117
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
This study provides in-depth insights about the status of children working in pastoral communities, engaging in livestock-related activities in the Karamoja subregion of Uganda: it provides key analysis in terms of the prevalence, extent and causes while highlighting policy gaps to address child labour in this specific subsector and community’s social organization. Evidence from this study reveals that children in Karamoja start engaging in unpaid work aged as young as 5 years for unpaid family work, and less than 10 years for paid tasks. The results also show that children are highly exposed to risky activities and at least two of the top five tasks performed by boys and girls are ranked as being very risky. Parents in Karamoja subregion have poor birth records which exacerbate child labour. Given the close association between child labour and education, the study also obtained information regarding school attendance. Lastly, based on these findings with surveyed households, the study identifies key policy implications and recommendations.

Advancing Children's Rights in Detention
Author: Ursula Kilkelly
Publisher: Policy Press
ISBN: 1529213223
Category : Children's rights
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
The UN Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty detailed many children's poor experiences in detention, highlighting the urgent need for reform. Applying a child-centred model of detention that fulfils the rights of the child under the five themes of provision, protection, participation, preparation and partnership, this original book illustrates how reform can happen. Drawing on Ireland's experience of transforming law, policy and practice, and combining theory with real-life experiences, this compelling book demonstrates how children's rights can be implemented in detention. This important case study of reform presents a powerful argument for a progressive, rights-based approach to child detention. Worthy of international application, the book shares practical insights into how theory can be translated into practice.
